Christian IIzer, the head coach of German Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, has expressed confidence in the potential of Nigerian forward Gift Orban to contribute to the team, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Orban, who joined Hoffenheim from French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyon during the winter transfer window, has been gradually integrated into the squad.

Despite Hoffenheim’s struggles this season, IIzer believes the young striker can make a significant impact.

“We’re working on his integration step by step, but we’ve already made considerable progress,” said the coach.

“He’s capable now, and he’ll be able to help us even more in the future.”

Since his arrival in January, Orban has made four appearances for Hoffenheim, scoring twice.
